I agree, it's nice to see action sports media more readily available these days. I found this place where you can find sweet snowboarding and other action sports video.

Travis Pistrana is definitely my favorite rider. He's been outstanding since he was a kid. But there are some other hot riders out there too. This clip says it all.

That's some sick footage. And to see how much ESPN covers action sports like snowboarding these days is a pleasure. I know lot's of people feel like action sports would have been better off staying under the radar, but I think it's only pushing the athletes to bigger heights. Besides, why would anyone not want to see their favorite sports on tv??

Wow, I don't even know how anyone can judge which of those waves is the biggest and heaviest. I'd have to go with the one in France, just for sheer size, but those Teahupoo waves have to be unmatched in sheer speed, power and gnarliness of the break. If you fall, you're in deep doo-doo because that reef is within touching distance of the surface.

RE: BMX Olympic Hopefuls Have New Playground

Kyle Bennett and Jill Kintner claimed the titles at the BMX National Championships this past weekend in DeSoto, Texas. The win was worth 8 points towards their national ranking, bringing them one step closer to securing nominations to the 2008 Olympic team.

Bennet is back after skipping last year's nationals due to an ACL tear. He now has a 44-point lead in the rankings. Kitner only has a 2-point lead over rival Arielle Martin.

Only two races remain before the World Championships in Taiyuan, China at the end of May.

I totally agree. I'm stoked to see snowboarding getting some more recognition these days too. I'm excited about Burton's campaign to get more resorts to open to snowboarding. Should be good for the sport!

Sounds like a fun event, but historically an aweful day to hit the slopes. Super-crowded! However snowboarding needs more recognition and anything that propogates this beautiful activity is A-OK. It is like flying on land.

RE: Goal Setting

Setting Goals and achieving those goals is the root of all sports without goals no one would advance. in the world of action sports, that is the drive of doing them. Action sports are inherently tough and that is why they have a competitive drive.

so set your goals and achieve them by posting video proving that you have on myhuck.com and you can move to the top of your sport and help to progress it even farther

I agree that skateboarding is dangerous but I tried taking it up last year and although I constantly have bruises and scrapes all over...it's a lot of fun- and a great form of transportation too. I say give it a go! Just start with a board with big soft wheels-- easier to get over cracks.
